Aaron Gray opts out of his contract with the New Orleans Hornets

26-year old center Aaron Gray has opted out of his contract with the Hornets so that he can become a free agent.  Gray played in 41 games (6 starts) for the Hornets last year and he averaged 13.0 minutes, 3.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game.  He played in 65 games (6 starts) in his two years with the Hornets and he averaged 12.2 minutes, 3.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game.  This just further depletes the frontcourt of the Hornets.
